rbf1138 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 In 1971, during the halftime show of a game between the NY Jets and the Patriots, my dad's high school marching band performed. My dad, a trumpet player, had a solo in the show. He asked me if I could find video of that performance. Can anyone point me in the direction of where that could be found or who could possibly upload it if they did have it on film at some point? Thanks!

Larz Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 for a hail mary, try NFL films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 NFL Films is probably your best shot. As far I know that game is not out there. I have an audio broadcast of the game but it does not have the halftime show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Wow I loved the subject of this question (not being sarcastic). I wish JetNation had a media section where old games and interviews, etc could be posted. On that topic, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the radio call of Wesley Walker's OT winning TD in the 51-45 Ken O'Brien over Marino game? Also, anyone know if the full game is available somewhere? I couldn't find on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Was it NBC that carried the AFC back then? Try getting hold of them to see if they have it archived. Not to go off-topic, but I saw a special about Monty Python and one of them was saying that if WGBH, the Boston PBS station, had not decided to pick up the tapes of the show, the BBC was all set to start re-recording new programs over the tape, like a homeowner with a VCR who's already seen the recording and wanted to save money. That hit me, because it seems to me that just about every TV show over here shown since late fifties at least is located somewhere. Keep trying, someplace official must have that tape. PS: If you do find it, come back here and let us know how you got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, JetNation is a fan site, not officially affiliated with the Jets, the NFL, or NFL Films, so it's likely they don't have the licensing rights to post that type of stuff as JN content. I could be wrong though. The work-around could be fans, or users of JN, posting links to that content in a thread - as long as it lives somewhere that has the licensing rights.

kelticwizard Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 According to Wikipedia, it was NBC which broadcast the AFC in 1971. Try them. The game was played Dec. 12, 1971 at Shea Stadium. The Jets won, 13-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets won, 13-6. I was probably there, lol. My best friend's family had season tickets, and late in the year when the Jets were well out of it, the women would lose interest in sitting there in the cold so they'd take me. If not for them, I probably would've grown up a Giants fan like my parents. Damn you! Anyway, good luck to the OP. Did they televise halftime shows back then? I'm thinking the best bet might be thru other kids' families in that marching band. Maybe someone there made a home movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbf1138 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'm still here, lol. My dad recalls that the game was actually televised for the school to watch, so I'll work on contacting NBC to ask if they have that footage and if I can have access to it in some form. I'll report back when/if I get any more information. Thanks for all the help and suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeWillie Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I used to collect old telecasts of classic sporting events. I have literally hundreds of telecasts ... football, baseball, hockey, basketball, etc... The only reason I bring it up was that I did try very hard to get old Jet telecasts, mostly from the Namath era, as part of my collection. Sadly, there really aren't many original telecasts out there from any source ... whether its NFL Films, the TV networks, or private collections ... from the Namath Days, at least as far as I could gather. You may be able to find portions of telecasts. If you have any success, please let us know. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think of a couple that are out there Super Bowl 3 1970 Jets at Browns (Very First Monday Night Football Game) 1976 Jets at Pats (MNF) There are maybe 2 or 3 pre-season games out there but I am pretty sure that is about it. One of the reasons there are so few out there I believe is that tape at that time was very expensive so alot of that stuff was recorded over.

#27TheDominator Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Somewhere my Dad has VHS tapes of most of the games from the 82 playoffs on. I think he was planning to move them to DVD, but who knows. I'm sure the quality is crap. I know I watched Freeman McNeil Bengals game and the brawls with the Raiders a million times.
